basically I think the consensus is that too much tuna can cause mercury poisoning. But I've never heard of it happening personally. Still, Im going to continue to gobble down the tasty fish, its just not my main source of protein. Hope this helps

I honestly eat like 8 pounds of it a week. I buy those 4 pound 2.5 ounce starkist can's at Sam's club for $4.88 a can and half those can's go into on of the tun noodle hotdishes which I finish a day and somtime I eat two a day.
I did not need to hear that.Quote:

I dont think its a big deal. If it was there would be about 5 members left on this board.
i eat two cans of tuna a day and my parents always tell me there is a lot of mercury in it, but seriously there are toxins in everything we eat.

I believe tuna is safe as long as you don't go for the albacore variety, and even then you have to eat a lot of it. Stick to chunk light, the cheaper type. It's safe.
I eat 2 cans a day....thats about all i can handle.
